Constance "Connie" Elaine Leslie

Connie died peacefully with good care from Compassus Hospice and the team at Scarborough Terrace in Scarborough, Maine. Born in Calais, Maine, she was the middle child of Lionel and Helen Leslie of Deer Island, New Brunswick. In 1952 Connie graduated from Gorham State Teacher's College in Maine and began a career as a second-grade teacher in Portland, Maine.

Following retirement in 1983 she enjoyed travel, particularly to England with friends. For many years she spent time on Deer Island, frequently traveling with a neighbor. Connie knit, especially hats and blankets, and donated them to folks in need. She also kept collections of teacups, British keepsakes, and newspaper articles.

Upon her death her cremains went to Deer Island where she was interred in the family gravesite with her cousin Dick Richardson attending.

Arrangements were coordinated by Hobbs Funeral Home (South Portland, Maine), Mays Funeral Home (Calais, Maine), and St. George Funeral Home (St. George, New Brunswick).
